* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Due to the amount of members on the boards, there have been many characters created. Sometimes more than one can count will show up in a Role-Playing thread. Also, a rule stating that each reader could only have two official characters was lifted in late 2011, so things don't look to be changing course anytime soon.

[[http://www.pridecomics.com Pride High]] is a comic book series written by Tommy Roddy and published by Pride Comics. It follows a gay/straight alliance at a [[SuperheroSchool superhero high school]]. The website also allows for readers to create their own characters on the [[http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards]], and these characters have a chance to appear on the comic (and one of them has even joined the core group of characters).
Within the story, Pride High is the titular gay/straight alliance, and they act as a squad for the school's Inter-Squad Championships (ISC), in which students sharing a unifying interest form a five-person squad and compete with other said squads throughout the year in academics and, more noticeably, physical stadium matches. The prime antagonist squad to Pride High is called the Argonauts, a group of primarily super-strong characters.
Aside from the ISC, there is also a prevailing mystery, as one of the Pride High members dies early on, and the squad investigates what he was doing that may have lead to his death.

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: How does Kid Mischief find out he is able to read thoughts containing strong emotion? When he hears people thinking homophobic insults about him. Also stated in Mindsweeper's bio as what happened when he gained his powers.
* AcademyOfAdventure: Poseidon Prep. Being a high school for superheroes-in-training it could hardly be otherwise.
* {{Animorphism}}: Chip Cheetah, Stallion
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Mindsweeper, Kid Mischief's boyfriend and, arguably, the AuthorAvatar]] dies in the events that take place between issues 1 and 2.

* BrainyBrunette: Suravi
* CantArgueWithElves: Pointy ears and a whole lot of attitude, that about sums up the Champions of {{Atlantis}}.
* CastFullOfGay: Due to the audience, most reader characters are gay, or at least bi, which can lead one to assume the school is overrun by gay students.
* CastingAShadow: Nightfall
* CatchPhrase:
** “Crivvens” – Scotch Bonnet
* ChromeDomePsi: Mindsweeper
* CrazyPrepared: Teh H4xx0rz, Iron Crusader
* CrossOver: Issues 5 and 8 cross over with the [[http://www.luckylegendary.com Legends]]. Issue 4 has Flaming Arrow of Heroscribe Comics in a cameo, and he appears in ''Pride High Freshman Flashback'', originally posted on the Heroscribe Comics website.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Teh H4xx0rz over Pride High, Vixxens over Teh H4xx0rz]]
* DisabilitySuperpower: Suravi is blind but, having light-based powers, she can feel changes in light. Mostly, though, she needs a telepathic facilitator. Limbless also qualifies.
* DoubleStandard: Kid Olympus disparages Kid Mischief and Mindsweeper for being "so blatant" because they're holding hands. When Kilauea (formerly Pele) mentions that he holds ''her'' hand while in public, he responds with, "That's different."
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler: Mindsweeper's friends and family are sad and solemn at his funeral, and dressed in mourning colors. The protesters are loud and disrespectful and dressed colorfully.]]
* TheEmpath: Kid Mischief and his mentor, Mischief. Cameron Ashton is also an empath, though in his case, this is crossed with EmotionEater.
* ExpendableClone: According to the ISC referee. Unison thinks otherwise, and hates to see his clones die. They do get hurt a lot though.
* FieryRedhead: Scotch Bonnet
* FiveManBand: Any of the ISC squads

* SharedUniverse: Implied with [[http://www.luckylegendary.com Lucky Legendary]] and Heroscribe Comics. These could be alternate universe versions, however. This could mean that [[http://www.sosuperduper.com So Super Duper]] is in their universe, as well, but it is debatable whether said comic appears in the Heroscribe universe (the indication: a Psyche side-story was included in Heroscibe's Queeroes anthology and was originally posted on its website—the comic itself did not explicitly tie in with the other heroes). As well, some stories in the [[http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards]] may also take place in the main universe.
* {{Shoutout}}: So subtle it's almost a whisper out, but of you look closely at the beach scene in the latest update, you can see that KO is reading Hero, a real life novel about a gay teen superhero. If you've seen the cover before, it's obvious.
* {{Sidekick}}: In the original conception, the kids were supposed to be this to the adult heroes (upon whom the series was to revolve). Kid Mischief was obviously supposed to be Mischief's sidekick.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Due to the amount of members on the boards, there have been many characters created. Sometimes more than one can count will show up in a Role-Playing thread. Also, a rule stating that each reader could only have two official characters was lifted in late 2011, so things don't look to be changing course anytime soon.

-->-- series tagline
[[http://www.pridecomics.com Pride High]] is a comic book series written by Tommy Roddy and published by Pride Comics. It follows a gay/straight alliance at a [[SuperheroSchool superhero high school]]. The website also allows for readers to create their own characters on the [[http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards]], and these characters have a chance to appear on the comic (and one of them has even joined the core group of characters).
Within the story, Pride High is the titular gay/straight alliance, and they act as a squad for the school's Inter-Squad Championships (ISC), in which students sharing a unifying interest form a five-person squad and compete with other said squads throughout the year in academics and, more noticeably, physical stadium matches. The prime antagonist squad to Pride High is called the Argonauts, a group of primarily super-strong characters.
Aside from the ISC, there is also a prevailing mystery, as one of the Pride High members dies early on, and the squad investigates what he was doing that may have lead to his death.

[[folder:Tropes in the official comic issues (Canon)]]
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: How does Kid Mischief find out he is able to read thoughts containing strong emotion? When he hears people thinking homophobic insults about him. Also stated in Mindsweeper's bio as what happened when he gained his powers.
* AcademyOfAdventure: Poseidon Prep. Being a high school for superheroes-in-training it could hardly be otherwise.
* {{Animorphism}}: Chip Cheetah, Stallion
* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:Mindsweeper, Kid Mischief's boyfriend and, arguably, the AuthorAvatar]] dies in the events that take place between issues 1 and 2.
* ArmouredClosetGay: Strongly implied with [[spoiler: Kid Olympus]].
* ArtShift: Issues 1-3 were drawn by Brian Ponce, but subsequent issues have shuffled artists.
* BadassBookworm: Suravi
* BadassLongcoat: Mindsweeper
* BadassNormal: Most of Teh H4xx0rz, Iron Crusader, possibly El Sonido and Doctor Alexander
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Mindsweeper again.
* BrainyBrunette: Suravi
* CantArgueWithElves: Pointy ears and a whole lot of attitude, that about sums up the Champions of {{Atlantis}}.
* CastFullOfGay: Due to the audience, most reader characters are gay, or at least bi, which can lead one to assume the school is overrun by gay students.
* CastingAShadow: Nightfall
* CatchPhrase:
** “Crivvens” – Scotch Bonnet
* ChromeDomePsi: Mindsweeper
* CrazyPrepared: Teh H4xx0rz, Iron Crusader
* CrossOver: Issues 5 and 8 cross over with the [[http://www.luckylegendary.com Legends]]. Issue 4 has Flaming Arrow of Heroscribe Comics in a cameo, and he appears in ''Pride High Freshman Flashback'', originally posted on the Heroscribe Comics website.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Teh H4xx0rz over Pride High, Vixxens over Teh H4xx0rz]]
* DisabilitySuperpower: Suravi is blind but, having light-based powers, she can feel changes in light. Mostly, though, she needs a telepathic facilitator. Limbless also qualifies.
* DoubleStandard: Kid Olympus disparages Kid Mischief and Mindsweeper for being "so blatant" because they're holding hands. When Kilauea (formerly Pele) mentions that he holds ''her'' hand while in public, he responds with, "That's different."
* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler: Mindsweeper's friends and family are sad and solemn at his funeral, and dressed in mourning colors. The protesters are loud and disrespectful and dressed colorfully.]]
* TheEmpath: Kid Mischief and his mentor, Mischief. Cameron Ashton is also an empath, though in his case, this is crossed with EmotionEater.
* ExpendableClone: According to the ISC referee. Unison thinks otherwise, and hates to see his clones die. They do get hurt a lot though.
* FieryRedhead: Scotch Bonnet

* PerformanceArtist: Subverted with Capp. ("Just because he's a dancer doesn't mean he's gay.")
* PlayingWithFire: Scotch Bonnet
* PoweredArmor: Iron Crusader
* ScheduleSlip: Due to the independent nature of the comics, schedules are rarely kept. Issue 8 was scheduled for July 2008, but was finally released as a preview on the message boards on November 2011. Issue 9 is still scheduled, though.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Issue 7--"I heard one of the girls scream." "That was Chip."
* SharedUniverse: Implied with [[http://www.luckylegendary.com Lucky Legendary]] and Heroscribe Comics. These could be alternate universe versions, however. This could mean that [[http://www.sosuperduper.com So Super Duper]] is in their universe, as well, but it is debatable whether said comic appears in the Heroscribe universe (the indication: a Psyche side-story was included in Heroscibe's Queeroes anthology and was originally posted on its website—the comic itself did not explicitly tie in with the other heroes). As well, some stories in the [[http://pridecomics.com/boards/ message boards]] may also take place in the main universe.
* {{Shoutout}}: So subtle it's almost a whisper out, but of you look closely at the beach scene in the latest update, you can see that KO is reading Hero, a real life novel about a gay teen superhero. If you've seen the cover before, it's obvious.
* {{Sidekick}}: In the original conception, the kids were supposed to be this to the adult heroes (upon whom the series was to revolve). Kid Mischief was obviously supposed to be Mischief's sidekick.

* SuperSpeed: Chip Cheetah
* SuperTeam: ISC squads, Champions of Atlantis, World Warriors

* TeensAreShort
* {{Transsexual}}: Masquerade, Stallion, Gravita
* TricksterTwins: Smash and Crash
* WaterIsBlue
* XtremeKoolLetterz: The Vixxens team name. Teh H4xx0rz often talk like this (ie: “pwned” and “stfu”) and their name shows instances of it, as well.
* YinYangBomb: Faculty member Lightspot can control light and darkness.
